Tomorrow I will go to the event at Yoyogi Park Event Plaza!
This event is for Daze, who is a snowboarder and has undergone bone marrow transplant surgery himself!
The announcement was just before, but if you have time, please come visit Yoyogi Park!
From amateurs to professional snowboarders, you can actually slide on artificial snow!
Diseases such as leukemia and aplastic anemia can now be completely cured by transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells such as bone marrow transplantation.
However, in order to receive this treatment, the existence of a donor who donates these cells is indispensable, but it does not mean that it belongs to everyone, and the point of success is that the leukocyte type matches.The drawback is that the precision rate is very low, 1/4 for siblings and hundreds to tens of thousands for others.
Throughout Japan, the number of patients with these diseases continues to increase by about 6,000 each year, and there are more than 2,000 patients who have not found a donor in their families and wish to have a transplant through a bone marrow bank.
Snow Bank Pay It Forward 2012 is an event for such patients to let people of all ages know about the bone marrow bank through snowboarding.
